Get your own identity

OK.

Do you happen to be one of these people who lack a personal e-mail address of their own? Do you instead use one that you SHARE with your significant other? You know the kind I mean: jackandjillsmith@yourisp.com.

Or perhaps you decided to include the whole family in this neat little display of over-attachment: thesmithfour@yourisp.com.

Maybe you have a MySpace or Facebook profile, where your main profile picture proudly includes you AND your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife, clinging to each other and grinning as if to say "WE SHARE EVERYTHING, EVEN OUR ONLINE IDENTITY".

If you are one of these people I have one thing to say to you: Please stop. Now.
